Community Information:MUSEUMS

When many people think about museums they think about history, but here in Kentuckiana we take it to a whole other level. The variety of museums in the area celebrate more than just the history of Kentucky and Indiana, and also boast a sense of pride and appreciation for our diverse culture, arts, talents, and accomplishments. Many of the museums in Louisville and the surrounding area are truly original museums that you won’t find anywhere else in the world. Enjoy the permanent and rotating collections in the various art and history museums, such as the Frazier History Museum, or visit a site significant to our nation’s history, like Abraham Lincoln’s Birthplace, or immerse yourself in the history and craft of one of Kentucky’s famous bourbon distilleries.
